Posts: 3801Rodadero Review
Haven't been to Santa Marta in a few years and decided to return. This time though I rented an apartment in a building named El Penon Del Rodadero in Rodadero instead of staying at the AC Marriot in Santa Marta. The building is the first building that is beachfront at the end of the beach to the South and has two swimming pools. I found it on Booking.com, it was a last minute decision to come here on Friday and it's a two bedroom two bath place, an ill equipped kitchen, but good AC in the bedrooms, a killer balcony, and a large Olympica market a block away, and direct beach access. Brought a Chica with me this time versus staying in Santa Marta proper and pulling Chicas from the parks and Malecon. The beach is shut down at 6 PM in Rodadero but opens up at daylight. Went to Playa Blanca yesterday and won't go back there, it was a fucking zoo. Went to Parque de Novios on Friday night to eat and the place was packed. Today I'm headed by taxi to Taganga and hopefully won't be as crowded as Playa Blanca. I've been just eating in the apartment versus hitting restaurants in Rodadero most of the time, so don't have a go to seafood place to eat at to recommend but will try a place tonight.
It's hotter then hooker in heater here, and I miss the weather in Medellin, but the Ocean is hard to beat and great for swimming.

I book everything on either my Choice Rewards account or Hotels.com and you will get much better pricing. A lot of people there use Booking.com as well but don't just show up and expect to get the best rates. Another trick I use is I know where I want to stay and pull it up on the app but I don't finish the registration until I arrive and I always ask to see a couple of rooms before I finalize it. Once I find the room I want I make the selection for that type room and finish the registration while I'm standing at the lobby desk and get the best prices always.
Just a couple of tips for what they're worth.
As always, be safe and have a blast.

No listing for Santa Marta only Cartagena
I put this in my blog but just to be thorough I posting in each city report thread.
Here is a chart that shows city by city testing locations, type of test and test costs. As well as turnaround times.

Regarding your Casa de Leda question. The answer is Yes and Yes. I have never heard of La Brisa Loca so have no idea.
